(CBS DETROIT) — Dangerously cold temperatures have prompted school districts across Southeast Michigan to close for Tuesday.
A cold weather advisory is in effect through Wednesday across the region. Advisories are issued when wind chills reach -15 to -24 degrees Fahrenheit.
Dangerously low wind chill temperatures between -15 and -25 degrees are expected over the next few nights. There is little relief during the daytime, as high temperatures in the single digits and wind chills at or below -10 degrees are expected.
Latest school closings and delays for Tuesday
As temperatures in Southeast Michigan plummet to dangerous lows, school districts across the region are taking precautions and closing their doors to keep students safe. With wind chills expected to reach well below zero, officials are urging residents to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel.
The decision to close schools comes as a result of the extreme cold weather advisory issued by the National Weather Service, warning of frostbite and hypothermia risks for those exposed to the elements. Many districts have also cited concerns about transportation difficulties and heating issues that could pose a threat to students and staff.
Parents are advised to check their school district’s website or local news outlets for updates on closures and delayed openings. It is important to prioritize safety during this frigid weather, and to make sure that children are dressed appropriately if they must be outside.
Stay warm, stay safe, and stay informed as we weather this dangerous cold snap in Southeast Michigan.
